Representative Text

1. Some day Christ will call us homeward
To His home, we know not where;
Some day we shall hear Him calling;
Some day we shall see Him there.

Refrain
Some day, some day we shall answer to His call;
Some day, some day Christ will conquer over all.

2. Some day may come when we’re working
In the vineyard He has given,
Or it may be when we’re straying
In the fields we know forbidd’n. [Refrain]

3. Some day may be very near us,
Nearer to us than we think;
Even now we may be standing
On the silent river’s brink. [Refrain]
